BEAUTY NOTE: SHE'S SO SHINY

How to illuminate in under 5 minutes

February 17, 2013

Taking the natural tone to a more illuminated place you can easily create this look in under 5 minutes! Being a busy girl this might also be the reason I love these easy regimes, as quite frankly I just don’t have the time.

OIL. Start with a clean face and apply the facial oil so your skin is nice and soft. Don’t go too overboard as just a few drops of these products go a long way and you’ll be adding more oil later.

CONCEAL. Use your concealer to do a few touch ups where needed (under and around the eyes and any other minor issues) but this shouldn’t be used like a foundation, its just to take the edge off!

ILLUMINATE. Put some facial oil on the top of your hand and rub your illuminator stick next to it. Combine the two to create an oily shiny palette thats quite a light shine, not too heavy. Smooth into the skin all over the face. Add your oil and illuminator together again, this time creating a slightly heavier illuminated combination and apply where you want the light to touch the most – cheek bones, nose, forehead.

LINE. Bring the eye out by using your liquid eyeliner and filling in your lash line. I’m not creating a thick line but instead creating the appearance of thicker lashes by dotting in between the base of the lashes where needed.
